Today, it seems natural to us that a pearl necklace is part of our jewellery wardrobe - but before the cultured pearl was widely available, it was still necessary to dive for each pearl individually. Not only did only a few shells contain the treasure they were looking for, even fewer of these pearls matched in shape, size and colour. The so-called "matching" could often take years. "It often takes a long time of collecting before uniform pearls are matched to form a necklace. For example, it took five years before the beautiful pearl necklace that Emperor Frederick, as crown prince, presented to his young consort as a wedding gift was completed", the Berlin-based illustrated magazine Der Bazar noted in 1894. Genuine pearl necklaces were therefore always carefully guarded treasures that were by no means to be found in every jewellery box. Here is a necklace made of genuine natural pearls. After each of the natural saltwater pearls had to be dived in the ocean, probably in the Persian Gulf. They are beautifully selected in size and their delicate cream colour. The necklace is worn close to the neck and has a length of 42.0 cm. Graduated, the largest pearl sits centered on the sternum. Towards the neck, they become more delicate. A round clasp set with diamonds holds the chain discreetly but securely in place, so that the piece of jewellery is also suitable for updos. We have had the necklace restrung and have had an independent certificate confirming the natural origin of the orient pearls. It is delivered together with the necklace. We discovered the necklace in Bremen.
